Tutorial

"Wh-What's happening to my body?" Li JinHai's body was completely surrounded by golden light and was lifted in the air. All of a sudden, he felt the golden light entering every single cell of his body.

"Ah, what's going on?! It's so painful!" He started screaming in pain as tears slowly streamed down his face. It was like the golden light was tearing apart his body and breaking all of his cells.

Blood started coming out from his ears, eyes, nose and mouth.

"This is crazy! If this goes on, I'll die from bleeding out!" JinHai wanted to do something, but he couldn't do anything as the golden light was lifting him up.

All of a sudden Li JinHai felt strange as if he was on a roller coaster and he was going down at full speed. All his organs felt like they squashed but strangely he wasn't feeling pain anymore.

At that moment if someone looked at him, he would see only a body of pure golden light. Suddenly Li JinHai's body disappeared leaving behind nothing, not even his clothes.

--------------------

At the moment of the teleportation Li JinHai had passed out and when he woke up he found himself in a completely new place.

Everything around him was white giving this place a sensation of pureness as if he was in heaven. His stunned expression drastically changed as he looked at his body. His body had not entirely appeared yet as legs and feet were missing. Only a few instants later he realized that his body had not been cut but was gradually appearing. His body was emitting a weak golden light that resembled the same light which previously caused all that bleeding and pain. However now it was different, the light was warm and gentle and it seemed like it was constantly nourishing Li JinHai's body.

After a few minutes, his body completely appeared, and he finally could stand up. He noticed that not even one drop of blood was on his clothes, they were entirely clean! Where was all the blood he lost? And how could he still be alive after all his organs had exploded?

All of a sudden, the remaining golden light concentrates on a single point and exploded as it turned into a figure. The figure was that of a small child with rabbit ears, tail and paws. The child wore a black tux and had a black stick in his right hand. You could say that the child resembled an adorable puppet that kids would hug before sleeping. A few moments later the golden light disappeared, and the child opened his eyes.

When Li JinHai's eyes met the gaze of the child's blue eyes his body shook, he could feel a mighty aura coming from the child. His body started trembling as he fell to his knees. He felt like the kid in front of him was a huge beast that could tear him up instantly. Moreover, a strong burning sensation arose from his right eye and it was irradiating to his whole body.

The rabbit puppet-like kid's expression turned into one of surprise as he noticed that the aura he emitted towards Li JinHai slightly faded. "HAHAHAHAHA, interesting, really interesting." He laughed with a voice that was far from being that of a kid. In fact it was the voice of an old man.

"Welcome!" Said the child as he was smiling. The mighty aura he was previously emitting disappeared and Li JinHai could finally breathe again.

"You can think of me as the soul of the Magic World RPG system. You currently are in the Tutorial, here I will give you some basic information about the game." Continued the puppet-like kid.

Li JinHai was staring at the child with a mix of puzzlement and fear.

"Come on, don't be like this!" Exclaimed the child. He snapped his fingers and a table with two chairs appeared out of nowhere, a teapot and two small cups were on it. They looked like they were made by the finest jade in the world. "Let us sit down." The bunny-eared kid said as he made a motion with his hand to invite Li JinHai to sit down with him.

Li JinHai was still puzzled but he sat down anyway, The kid took the teapot and as he was filling the two small cups he continued to speak: "So, this Survival Game is called Magic World. Like The Almighty Lord said previously this is an RPG game. If you don't know what it is, it is basically a game in which you have to defeat your enemies and level up to become stronger. Obviously, quests will be assigned to you so that you can get more experience. Before we start with the tutorial do you have any questions?"

Li JinHai was an RPG maniac and of course, knew how the game would work so he did not have any particular questions about this. The was only one thing he was thinking about at that moment: "I just have one question but I don't know if I can ask it."

The kid smiled and exclaimed: "Don't be afraid, just ask." He looked particularly fond of the golden-eyed boy in front of him.

"Is the voice I heard before really from God?" Li JinHai asked.

The bunny-eared kid's expression slightly changed as he became serious "Kid don't be like that, why are you asking me a question I already answered."

Li JinHai knew he screwed so he tried to change his question to another one "Why is he not immortal then" I thought that a god had to be immortal by definition!"

"That is an interesting question my little lamb!" Said the kid. "And you sure are bold to ask something like that." The kid grinned. His smile this time was different from before. It looked like a smile of pure evil. Li JinHai felt chills down his spine and thought: "Gosh! I knew I shouldn't have asked about this!" He was afraid that the kid was going to kill him! But, to his surprise, the smile of pure evil turned into an extremely innocent smile. Li JinHai felt that it was like he just saw a devil become an angel.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you for your curiosity and I couldn't kill you here even if I wanted to." Said the kid. "I shouldn't be saying anything about this but as I am fond of you, I will make an exception and tell you something." Continued the kid. "Yes, usually gods would have an incredibly long lifespan, if they want, they can last of eons however let me be clear, no beings in heaven and earth is immortal." The kid laughed. "Usually gods would get bored of their long life and try to do things that go against the heaven and earth themselves. Some of them succeed some of them don't. The latter would get punished by heaven and earth with a lifespan depletion and that's how most gods meet their end. I cannot tell you all the details but my Lord even if it was one of the most powerful ones got punished by heaven and earth and already has a foot in the grave." The kid laughed maniacally, it looked like he really didn't care about the life of 'his God'.

"So, it is like this." Said Li JinHai as he tried to hide the fear he was feeling for the bunny-eared boy.

"As much as I would like to continue talking with you, we already wasted too much time. Since you have no other questions, let's start with the tutorial but be careful even if it is a tutorial if you are careless you could still die." The kid's old voice became cold and Li JinHai's expression hardened.

Suddenly He heard a BIP sound and a blue screen appeared before him. There was written "Quest Received".

He was shocked, this was not like an RPG, it was an RPG!

With his finger, JinHai touched the blue screen. It disappeared and a different one appeared.

Quest: Becoming a Player

Quest rank: E

Description: Complete the tutorial.

Reward: Hidden

ACCEPT/DECLINE

"You should have received a quest notification, accept it." Said the child. Li JinHai touched the 'ACCEPT' bottom. He could feel that all the various information about the quest entered his head.

The child spoke again. "Now choose a weapon." Another blue screen appeared before Li JinHai, there was all sort of edged weapons represented on it. There were spears, blades, swords, axes and some other weapons that he had never seen before in his life. There was also the picture of a bow and arrow but a red 'LOCKED' word was written on top of it. As he was used to fighting with his hands, he didn't think too much and quickly chose his weapon. He pressed the katana's picture and a real katana materialized before him.

"Now try to concentrate your sight only on the sword, you should be able to see all the weapon details." Li JinHai looked at the sword and as the child said he could see all the details of the weapon.

Recruit Katana

1st tier item

A normal katana used by the lowest of the samurais.

"What you just used to see to see the item details is called 'Observation', you can use it also to see the details of monsters, but they cannot be more than 10 levels higher than you." Li JinHai nodded; he was still staring at the katana. Even if it was the weakest of the item to him it still looked cool.

"Now it's time for your first fight." said the child. With a gesture of his hands not far from them a figure appeared. The figure was enveloped in golden light and Li JinHai couldn't see what it was. However, as the golden light dissipated his expression changed.

The creature that just spawned had a human figure, but it had blood and wounds everywhere. Even a piece of brain coming out from the head could be seen! Its clothes were also all ripped and bloody.

Li JinHai used 'Observation'.
